Yemeni cabinet approves draft law designating Houthis as terrorist organization

Yemen's internationally recognized government approved a draft law to designate the Houthis as a terrorist organization, initiating constitutional and legal procedures for ratification. The move criminalizes Houthi activities and financing, escalating political and legal pressure amid the ongoing conflict. The law's impact depends on ratification and enforcement, which remain uncertain given the Houthis' control over large territories.
